Remark
You are going to use the Pythagorean Theorem. The trick is to find the length of the leg making up the base of the triangle.
That base is equal to the difference between the two bases.
Solution
The base of the triangle = 2x + 1 - (x + 3) Remove the brackets.
base = 2x + 1 - x - 3
base = x - 2
Now the height of the trapezoid is also the second leg of the triangle. Apply the Pythagorean Theorem.
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
a = x - 2
b = x + 4
c = 2x
4x^2 = (x - 2)^2 + (x + 4)^2 Expand the brackets
4x^2 = x^2 - 4x + 4 + x^2 + 8x + 16 Collect like terms
4x^2 = 2x^2 + 4x + 20 Subtract the right side from the left.
4x^2 - 2x^2 - 4x - 20 = 0
2x^2 - 4x - 20 = 0 Divide by 2
2x^2/2 - 4x/2 - 20/2 = 0
x^2 - 2x - 10 = 0
x = - b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4*a*c)/ 2a
a = 1
b = - 2
c = - 10
x = (- -2 + / - sqrt((-2)^2 - 4*(1)*(-10) ) / 2
x = (2 + / - sqrt(4 + 40 ))/2 Only the plus root has any meaning.
x = ( 2 + sqrt(44 ) )/2
x = ( 2 + 2*sqrt(11) ) / 2
x = 1 + sqrt(11)
sqrt(11) = 3.3166
x = 1 + 3.3166
x = 4.3166
Minus 12 over 16 and 12 over 16
There you go!
Answer:
I assume you're joking.
Step-by-step explanation:
I think that
A=0
B=0
C=0
D=0
Hope this helped.
What you do is add up the coins in two piles
1. all the coins added up
2.coins that are more than 10 cents (or equal)
take number 2 and put that in the numerator (top spot on a fraction)
and take number 1 and put it on the denominator (bottom spot on a fraction)
then simplify it if needed.
50/224 is the raw data simplify it for the real answer
25/112 is the simplest you can do so there's your answer. hope this helped :)
